Interestingly, it was on Valentine's Day that Sachiin popped the question to Urvashi. The excited bride tells us, "I called and asked about his plans on V-Day.

He said that a cozy dinner would do. In fact, he even said he was busy and unsure of making it for dinner.

" Urvashi says they finally made it to a restaurant for dinner, when out of the blue, in typical filmi style, Sachiin got down on his knees and fished out a huge diamond ring and proposed marriage. "Imagine my shock! He was pretending the entire time.

It was the best day of my life and I will never forget this year's Valentine's Day," says Urvashi. Sachiin adds, "She thought it would be a usual date.

She was zapped at the proposal. It was an emotional moment.

" Sachiin and Urvashi first met through common friends at a party. Reveals Sachiin, "We soon began going out.

One day, I asked her if she was serious about a relationship with me. It's been over two years since we've been together, so marriage was the obvious next step.

" Urvashi says Sachiin has always made her feel secure. "I used to long to be with him.

He is sensitive too. That is one quality I really love about him," she says.

As for Sachiin, it was Urvashi's innocent and straightforward nature that swept him off his feet. "I like her honesty.

Urvashi is very transparent, very caring and very giving. It is these qualities that make her beautiful in my eyes.

" Come March 2, and Sachiin and Urvashi are set to have a grand wedding celebration. "You could call it a party or a reception.

Besides family and friends, we have invited our well-wishers too. We want everyone to be a part of our joy.

The actor, who made his debut last year in "Aazaan" opposite Candice Boucher finally decided to tie the knot with his longtime girlfriend - actress Urvashi Sharma . According to sources, "The actor had posted a picture of him and his girlfriend on Tuesday and had announced his marital status to all his close friends.

Sachiin plans to host a grand reception party around March 2 in Mumbai. The party will be attended by all his friends from Bollywood , prominent politicians, industralists and bureacrats.

Even some Hollywood celebrities are said to be attending the reception." Sachiin, who had been dating the actress for a while, has finally decided to settle down with her.

Even though Urvashi is from Delhi, there are presently no plans of a celebration in the capital city. The guest list at the wedding reception is also said to include stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Salman.

Sources say, "Both the families have agreed to their match. Sachiin's sister, who stays in Delhi and the other one who is in Dubai , are busy with the wedding preparations.

" When we contacted Sachiin, he confirmed the news but refused to share any other details (less)

The 21-year-old daughter of South superstar Kamal Haasan and Sarika has politely turned down Mani's offer and has decided to learn filmmaking instead. Says Kamal, " I don't know why Akshara turned down the offer.

You can't question a 21- year-old. It's her decision.

I've never imposed my will on either of my two daughters. They're free to do what they wish to with their lives.

Akshara, I suspect, will follow my route, starting from behind the camera and then making her way to the front of the camera." Mani is married to Kamal's older brother Charu Haasan's daughter Suhasini.

This refusal would have surely come as a blow to the maverick, given his last film Raavan starring Aishwariya and Abhishek Bachchan flopped. The film he had in mind for Akshara's launch, according to sources, was not a typical love story for the youth market.

To be fair, Akshara so far been learning the ropes of filmmaking with no apparent interest in facing the camera like her older sibling Shruti, who has been doing Tamil and Hindi films for a few years now. Says a source, "Akshara seems content behind the camera despite getting a number of plum acting offers, but Mani is adamant.

He's very keen to launch Akshara as a leading lady, and has made the offer many times." For now, of course, Mani will have to cool his heels till the headstrong girl gives in to his demand.

He will have a tough time convincing her though, given she doesn't want to work with her father's production house either. "When Akshara decided she wanted to learn filmmaking, we decided she would not assist any of our home productions.

There would've been too much pampering on the sets. She assisted Rahul Dholakia instead.

Now she's free to move ahead in whatever direction she wants," says Kamal. Tweet (less)

The actress, who has acted in few soaps since Kasauti ..

., refused to term her new role as a "comeback", saying she's never been off the small screen for a gap that would warrant one.

"It's a comeback in fiction and not on television. I did not do fiction for a long time because there was nothing appealing for me," said Urvashi.

She tried her hand at comedy in a few shows and was last seen on the reality show Meethi Choori No 1 this year. Urvashi believes that her chaste Bhojpuri speaking negative character of Malini Yadav in Dharmayudh will once again be "accepted" by the audience.

"Those who wanted to write me off have done so. However, I am still there where I had to be," says the 32-year-old actress.

Known for her carefully styled looks, Urvashi holds that her role will also have "a touch" of her but will be something "very different" from how audience have seen her before. "It is not going to be anything close to what you've seen me do," Dholakia says.

Apno ke liye Geeta ka Dharmayudh to be aired from December 6 on Zee TV, stars Sargun Mehta of '12/24 Karol Bagh' fame as the protagonist. The show deals with the use and misuse of Section 498A that empowers and protects women against domestic violence.

Initially doubtful whether she would be able to pass off as a mother-of-four socialite, Urvashi considers herself "lucky" to have played all types of characters from varied age groups. "To play a mother of four, which I have not done, was like - Will I look it? But I don't think that I will be typecast in that role or get offers only to play a mother or mother-in-law only," she added.

Even though reality shows are the order of the day, fans won't see the intensely "private" Urvashi participating in something like Bigg Boss anytime soon. "I don't feel comfortable sharing my life or lifestyle with someone.

I'm private in my own way," Dholakia says (less)
